Homeostasis effect on the body Diseases, how they spread Antibiotics, how they work Specific antibodies Diseases prevented by antibodies � Bacteria and Fungi develop resistance � Antibiotic Resistant infections are impossible to treat OVERVIEW SLIDE
PARTNER 1 HOMEOSTASIS Body establishes equilibrium eternally Maintain Body temperature Buffers higher or lower p. H to around neutral Add hydrogen to Basic environments Remove hydrogen from Acidic environments Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell vacuoles diffuse extra water out If needed water passes back into cell DU
PARTNER 1 DISEASES Spread through bacteria Through Blood or bodily-fluids Contact with the skin or mucus membrane Oral contact or with feces DU
PARTNER 1 DISINFECTANTS Ø Rid surfaces from bacteria/contaminates Ø Chemicals are alcohols, quaternary ammonium salts Ø chloramine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, silver dihydrogen citrate, and thymol DU
PARTNER 1 ANTIBIOTICS • • • Type of medicine for diseases caused by bacteria Stop or slow growth of bacteria White blood cells can't fight off infection Destroy bacteria's cell wall or contents Stop bacteria from multiplying DU
AZITHROMYCIN Fights bacteria Vomiting, stomach pain, headache Whooping cough, babesiosis Bronchitis and pneumonia AG
PENICILLIN Fights infections Burst cell wall Skin rashes, heartburn, bleeding Scarlet fever and throat infections AG
AMOXICILLIN Bacterial infections Nausea, vomiting Tonsillitis, bronchitis AG
Pneumonia: infection of lungs Scarlet Fever: bacterial illness Bronchitis: Inflammation of airways DISEASES AG
Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) Bacteria and Fungi develop resistance Can't avoid infections AR infections are impossible to treat BK
MRSA Super bug Self-treat infections Symptoms: Infections, Pneumonia Resisted to penicillin antibiotics BK
VRE Disease located in the intestines Symptoms: Infections, Back-pain Resistant to Vancomycin BK
CRE Found in the Stomach Symptoms: Pneumonia, Fever Resistant to carbapenem BK
